If you have learned anything about the geologic time scale, you know the biggest components are the four eons. They can span from just over 500 million years to almost 2 billion years! Most of the eons are subdivided into smaller eras. The eons are: the Hadean Eon, the Archean Eon, the Proterozoic Eon, and the Phanerozoic Eon, which we currently live in.
According to paleontologists, eons don't refer to any long time, but they refer to the four eons in the geologic time scale.

A very short lived supercontinent. It formed in the beginning of the Ediacaran period of the Proterozoic Eon, but broke apart as Laurentia rifted away from the rest of the supercontinent. It broke apart even before the Phanerozoic Eon and the Cambrian period. Not so well-known although is one of the only interesting things that happened during the Ediacaran period.
Bob reading out loud from a website: 630 million years ago, Pannotia formed.
Kate: Pannotia? Do you mean Pangea?
Bob: The Ediacaran supercontinent, not the Permian one.
Kate: I thought the only supercontinent was Pangea!
Bob: How about this?
Bob reading out loud from a website again: Pannotia was the result of supercontinent Rodinia turning inside out 720 million years ago.

Conway's Game Of Life. NOT A GAME. This is a cellular automaton (CA) that has an infinite square grid of cells and uses the Moore neighbourhood along with the rule B3/S23 to determine the next generation.
Cells are either alive or dead.
A dead cell becomes alive if they have 3 alive neighbours. Alive cells stay alive if they have 2 or 3 alive neighbours. Otherwise, they either die or stay dead.

Pangea is by far the most famous and the most recent supercontinent. Spanning from the Pennsylvanian epoch, the second one in the Carboniferous period to the early Jurassic period, This supercontinent allowed animals and plants to spread and roam all over the land. It has been proven that fossils around this time were pretty much global and not restricted to specific continents. It formed with the closure of the Rheic Ocean and broke apart with the opening of the Atlantic Ocean.
Before Pangea, there were two continents called Laurasia and Gondwana (sometimes called Gondwanaland), and after Pangea broke apart, there were two continents too, also called well... Laurasia and Gondwana. The early Laurasia and Gondwana are sometimes called Paleolaurasia and Paleogondwana to prevent mixup of the names.
The name of Pangea originated from Greek where Pan means all and Gaia means earth. The name of Laurasia is made from concatenating the names of the Laurentia Craton (Today's North America) and Asia. Gondwana means "Land of Gonds (a tribe in India)".

Living in Pangea would be like living together with your friends wherever you go and not having to cross oceans with ships or planes.

An MTR line that originates from its terminus at Whampoa and ends at its other terminus at Tiu Keng Leng.
History:
1979 - Modified Initial System from Kwun Tong to Tsim Sha Tsui is built.
1980 - Modified Initial System from Tsim Sha Tsui to Chater, including its cross-harbour section, is built.
1982 - Modified Initial System is divided into Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line, with Waterloo and Argyle stations being interchange stations between the two lines. Kowloon Tong station becomes an interchange station with the KCR British Section. Prince Edward Station is built, being a third interchange station with the Tsuen Wan Line.
1985 - Waterloo and Argyle stations are renamed to Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok respectively.
1989 - Kwun Tong Line from Kwun Tong to Quarry Bay, including its cross-harbour section, is built along with Lam Tin station. Quarry Bay Station becomes an interchange station with the Island Line.
2001 - Kwun Tong Line from Quarry Bay to North Point is built.
2002 - Tseung Kwan O Line from North Point to Po Lam is built, taking over part of the Kwun Tong Line, including its cross-harbour extension. Kwun Tong Line is rerouted to interchange with the Tseung Kwan O Line at Yau Tong and Tiu Keng Leng stations.
2016 - Kwun Tong Line from Yau Ma Tei to Whampoa is built.
2020 - Diamond Hill station becomes an interchange station with the Tuen Ma Line Phase 1.
2021 - Ho Man Tin Station becomes an interchange station with the Tuen Ma Line.
